HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! The feeling in here is just so cozy and the person who served me, Victor, was such a nice guy, very accommodating, not only to me, but to everyone that came into the restaurant ! When you go someplace to eat, you want to be somewhere where people are happy, jolly and have a good good time! this is definitely the place that!! I especially love that they have a very nice full ( and clean ) variety salsa bar where you can help yourself to sauces of all different types. You know me I'm a saucy girl so I really, really appreciated that. Their homemade corn tortillas are divine! Super soft, great texture - I'm definitely a fan! From the salsa bar, red sauce is spicy! Green salsa is tasty with a little bit of a spice, really delicious flavor! Light green "cream "sauce is perfect to put on anything, not spicy! The battered fish taco was so fresh! I could Totally eat my fill of these!!! what's nice is they even have beer and margaritas - it's a perfect combination! All of the veggies were a cut to size, perfectly and tasted so fresh I really am enjoying it !! Shrimp enchilada, nice. Carne asada taco - perfection! Another customer ordered a shrimp ceviche, I'll definitely get that next time! After my dining experience, I was reminded of a place that my dad used to take us to in Mexico when I was young to eat tacos of ALL SORTS as well as other types of cuisine! Only exception is there weren't cutting their carne asada meat on a hallowed out tree stump! The preparation of the taco and careful attention to detail, very pleasing. This is definitely going to be one of my favorite places. Everything is tasty, clean and the people are really nice. And friendly! This is something about a good chip and authentic salsa that really lights me Up. If I go to a place where the salsa is not good, I never go back. I'll MOST DEFINITELY be back here, I truly enjoyed everything!

Cocktails ordered were La Gracie for my guy (he NEVER orders tequila drinks but he actually liked this) - I tasted it and it was refreshing and not too sweet and the Mosaic Mule for me. So delicious with just the right amount of smokiness, that I had two! Chips and salsa during drinks and I absolutely LOVE their salsa! Mini chimis as an appetizer - a mix of chicken and machaca that were stuffed full and fried to perfection. Dinner consisted of the carnitas plate for him and Mole Negro Oaxacaqueño (carnitas) for me. Both were excellent but the mole was divine. Of course a good deal of our appetizers and entrees were packed to go home....so filling! Dessert (we ate a bit and took the rest home) was churros and flan. The flan was so good that I had a hard time leaving it alone when we got home. Creamy, cold with a delicious sauce. I'm so glad Theresa's Mosaic is still around and thriving. Stop in and enjoy!

First time dining at this restaurant. I ordered the Chile Colorado plate and my husband ordered the…read moreMachaca plate. The food itself was good. They really brag about their flour tortillas, but in my opinion they were just okay and lacked flavor. I also ordered the Chiltern Mezcal Pineapple drink, which was very tasty and one of the highlights of the meal. There were a few things that really impacted our experience. I noticed a fly floating in my drink, which was pretty unpleasant. We also ordered a pitcher of beer and it took about 30 minutes to arrive. The waitress asked if we wanted chips and salsa, and of course we said yes -- who doesn't enjoy chips and salsa? The service overall was disappointing. We asked for extra napkins and the waitress seemed bothered and gave us attitude. When the bill arrived, we noticed that a tip had automatically been added. I personally prefer tipping based on the service experience, so I wasn't a fan of that. Another surprise was being charged $3.75 for chips and salsa without being told there would be a charge. I've never been to a restaurant where chips and salsa were offered without mentioning an added fee. Also worth noting: drinks do not come with refills. Overall, the food was decent, but the service and unexpected charges took away from the experience. I would not go back.

I was craving shrimp, tacos, so we went to this restaurant . I'm giving this restaurant 1 star…read morebecause when I order shrimp tacos, I expect to get shrimp tacos. And.... The shrimp and seafood cocktail dish with the mushy shrimp and chewy seafood, was fairly flavorless . The fish tacos were tasty, but I really wanted what I ordered and they argued that we said fish. I have never had fish tacos until now. The fried fish taco was better, as the grilled fish was mushy. My companion, who is from Tucson, ordered another dish that he said was not as good as it used to be. I tried it and it was OK The one with the shrimp and the green cheese sauce.. Apparently the restaurant changed names and the quality of the food changed along with perhaps recipes The margarita is tasty but needed some tequila. The atmosphere is clean but older. For customers a party of four or eight would be the max size that would fit comfortably in this small restaurant.

We also had the champencha cocktail which was amazing with so much seafood. This is a must if you like seafood. You know a place is good when after you eat and you're stuffed but you have to have another taco. I ordered the battered shrimp taco and it was fabulous! It was recommended by the owner and son-in-law who works the register when they need help. This family run restaurant is probably one of the best taquerias & mariscos restaurants I've been to including CA! Their flavors took me back to restaurants in Ensenada, no joke!

After living in Tucson since 2013, I've learned that there are a few fast-food Mexican restaurants…read morethat are basically the same: Los Betos, Filiberto's, and Nico's. Of the three, Nico's is definitely my favorite. I think the food tastes better, and they put both sour cream AND cheese on their veggie burrito without charging extra for the cheese. Los Betos and Filiberto's, take notes. That said, the prices at Nico's keep creeping up, and I honestly don't think it's worth the price anymore. I'll still splurge every now and then and pay the $13 for my burrito, but it's definitely getting harder to justify. The biggest pros are that it's close and fast. I always get my food to go. There's no drive-thru, so you do have to go inside, and the place always smells strongly like Fabuloso--so I guess we can safely assume it's clean. The food isn't always as fresh as I'd like. Sometimes the tortillas are hard or taste a little stale, which can really make or break a burrito. Overall, Nico's is my favorite of the three, but mostly because it's convenient, fast, and I like the flavor better. If the prices keep going up, though, I'm going to have a harder time convincing myself that a $13 fast-food burrito is a splurge worth making.

Stopped by here after picacho peak hiking. This was probably one of the only restaurants nearby…read more For the price, the food is great. Not the biggest fan of cash only on the weekends and the fact that there's no restroom was a little weird also not the cleanest establishment. But other than that, overall it was a great experience! The service was good otherwise as well.

In 1999 while working at a local Tucson business in the early morning hours, the boss bought…read more breakfast burritos for us all. When he said Nico's, everyone got excited and when is Al's I had never had it, they told me I was in for a treat. They were right. I can still remember that burrito, as big as my forearm, stuffed with egg, potato, bacon and cheese. It was delicious to the last bite. I became a Nico's devotee from that moment forward. As I travelled the world, whenever I returned home to the Old Pueblo, stopping at Nico's became a ritual for me and my family. That's why this review is difficult to write. While the food is still tasty and the portions are sizable, the customer service was dreadful. Apparently my first mistake was to ask about the "Flying Saucer" which is the Thursday special. I was told that it's basically a chimichanga with an open tortilla. It comes in chicken or beef machaca. I asked which the employee prefers, and received a smart Alec response that their tastes are different from mine. My wife ordered a carne asada chimichanga, I ordered the chicken spaceship, my son ordered the chicken tacos. Our friendly attendant forgot to take the taco order and we had to pay for that separately. Apparently Nico's has adopted a pricing scheme where the displayed price is only for cash payment. A different price is charged for credit cards. This policy is explained with a small sign by the register. Nowhere does it explain the difference. Apparently credit cards negate the special. The attendant told me that Filiberto's does the same thing, when I asked about the difference in price of what was charged from what was on the menu. The funny thing is that I don't mind the surcharge. I resent the lack of transparency, and the rude behavior from the attendant. So, thanks for the memories. I don't need the attitude.
